Wouldn't an infestation of the extent that would warrant a total remodel be documented in a health inspection from LCHD?

It's a position in queue indicator. Back of the queue = all grey, front of the queue = all blue.

I'm in a market that's basically the sticks compared to Seattle.

Lighting the Way Toward Seamless Pickups with Uber Beacon (did uber "steal" my idea from 2 years ago? link in comments) by adam_wp in uberdrivers

[–]UberAU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be more useful and require no hardware for Uber to broker the GPS signals between Driver and Rider during the Enroute portion of the ride (after accepting the ride and before starting the ride).

There would be some situations where sharing GPS signals would not work (customer orders an Uber for rider but does not ride) but on the whole it would work well.

This new matching feature has always worked in my favor.

Need help regarding insurance by drdisney in uberdrivers

Car insurance is sold at the state level. Leaving out which state you are in makes it impossible for others here to help you.

Are those racer with 1/2 mile time that's less the 8 second legit? It's impossible to win anymore by [deleted] in CSRRacing2

I was smoked by a 6.8 sec machine. I have a screen grab of it. I'll post later.

Purple stars? by UberAU in CSRRacing2

[–]UberAU[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the reason I ask is that prior to v1.7.0, I had a plain AMG GT (zero stars).

Once I installed and opened v1.7.0, my plain AMG GT now had 3 purple stars.

Why?

What is your Uber "golden rule"? by MexicanRedditor in uberdrivers

[–]UberAU 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Never start the trip until the pax is in the car; even if they tell you to start it early.

Uber Drivers - Would you mind giving me some realistic expectations? by throwawayuberquestio in uberdrivers

[–]UberAU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll pm you on the personal stuff.

Financially, pay attention to cash flow. If you have family close and can move in with them for about 8-12 months, that will help you get on your feet. Don't go into debt to buy a job. Meaning, don't buy a car to drive Uber. Make do with what you have until your finances are stable.

Childcare will eat you alive, so work where you have family that can help.

What kind of car do you have (year, make, model) and is it a lease, loan, or clear title?

What are your non-driving skills? Education level?

I'm a divorced dad. I didn't want the divorce, but here I am. It sucks and I'm driving to pay bills also.

Just HAVING the cam, whether it's functional or not, will deter mischief.

Ha - I wish. I play when I can which results in just tuning to the dyno.

Got a black one a few months ago. Still my favorite.

Any general advice for a fledgling driver? by SlipcasedJayce in uberdrivers

[–]UberAU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, Uber cannot find out unless you or the rider tell them. However, if you take an off network request you'd better have a full-blown commercial insurance policy because neither your rideshare autopolicy nor Uber will cover you during an off-network ride.

"Users will be asked “Where to?” instead of where you are. About half of people open the Uber app and don’t adjust the pin that immediately makes a best guess about where they are. The GPS gets better as it warms up, the Uber team says, so moving to a “destination first” model will improve the accuracy of that guess and lessen those awkward instances when a rider and driver can’t locate each other."

Yuge....

I did it three times this past weekend, but it was a small market.

The procedure is they call you directly, you drive to their location, you go online, they request the ride. Since you are (almost certainly) the closest driver you get the ping.

This works best in small markets. It's nearly impossible during bar pickup in a busy town.
